140 citizens from all over town - not a NIMBY neighborhood - signed a citizen's petition designed to place control of all spending by the Water Commissioners under the BoS. The BoS voted to recommend indefinite postponement of the article. My vote was based on procedure, practicality and the fact that I am confident recommendations coming out of the audit of the enterprise funds will propose significant changes in the way business is done not only at the Water & Sewer Commissions but in Town Hall.
I don't expect you to have that same confidence. Why should you after last year's events? I understand you're angry and distrustful. So am I.
In my opinion this citizen's petition very appropriately serves to remind Town Hall that we're on probation and we're not out of hot water yet. I'm not sure that's the message Town Hall is getting but I am sure it's the message being sent. I get it.
Please attend Town Meeting, Monday, November 15. Your vote does make a difference.
